Obama Just Got BAD News About His Nobel Peace Prize After Committee Denies Trump The Honor.

In 2009 Barak Obama was given one of the most coveted and prestigious awards a person can

receive.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to people who stand out for acts of courage and kindness

for humanity.

An example of a worthy recipient would be Mother Teresa, who given the award for her

selflessness and kindness work with people of Calcutta India.

She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she spent over 50 years serving people in

the slums of Calcutta.

Barak Obama, however, did nothing like that.

In fact, the 2009 Nobel Peace prize has been the most controversial so far.

Obama beat out many people who were clearly worthy recipients of the award.

President Trump has recently been brought up as the next rightful recipient of the peace

prize, for his historical agreement with North Korea that was decades overdue.

However, the prospect of Trump being the next recipient was squelched today after a committee

member said that Trump is no longer "moral leader of his country or the world."

This was based on the recent immigration controversy.

A member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee is condemning President Trump for the "zero

tolerance" immigration policy that has resulted in separated families, saying that the president

is "no longer the moral leader of his country or the world."

"What is happening at the border where he is separating children from their parents

is a sign that he is no longer the moral leader of his country or the world," Thorbjorn

Jagland, who is also the secretary general of a human rights watchdog, Council of Europe,

said, according to Agence France-Press.

It's ridiculous for Trump to be denied a prize he rightfully earned on a peace agreement

Barack Obama wasn't capable of accomplishing in 8 years.

However, that doesn't mean he still deserves the award he was seemingly given as a favor.

Writer Johnathan Turley wrote a scathing article about Obama winning the award and what the

ex-Secretary of the Nobel recently admitted.

In Jonathan Turley's blog post yesterday he wrote, Like many people, I was highly critical

of the awarding of the Nobel Award to President Barack Obama in 2009 before he had done anything

as president.

Now the ex-Secretary for the Nobel Prize Geir Lundestad has admitted that Obama did not

deserve the prize but rather they thought the award would strengthen Obama.

It is a maddening admission that the committee bypassed a list of worthy candidates with

proven contributions to humanity to give a boost to someone that the Committee simply

liked.

That would seem grossly unethical but Lundestad merely acknowledged that it did not seem to

work.

As I discussed at the time, Obama beat out various more worthy candidates including Dr.

Sima Samar who is an amazingly brave Afghan woman who has risked her life to fight for

the rights of women and girls in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The chairwomen of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, Samar was the first Hazara

woman to obtain a medical degree from Kabul University.

She has had to repeatedly flee for her life but has insisted on returning time and time

again to treat the poor and fight for women's rights — in an area where feminists are

routinely kil**d or sprayed with acid by extremists.

Samar also opposed the rise of Sharia law and religious radicals.

Extremists forced her out as Deputy President and later Minister of Women's Affairs.

For civil libertarians, the comparison of Samar and Obama could not be more striking.

Where Obama has repeatedly refused to fight for principle and yielded to politics (in

areas like torture, privacy, and detainee rights), Samar has refused to yield on principle

— even at the risk of her own life.

While Obama was in office less than two weeks before his nomination, Samar has spent a lifetime

fighting for oppressed women in Afghanistan.

Geir Lundestad and his colleagues rejected Samar and others because they wanted to boost

Obama.

In his memoir entitled "Secretary of Peace," Lundestad admits "No Nobel Peace Prize ever

elicited more attention than the 2009 prize to Barack Obama . . . Even many of Obama's

supporters believed that the prize was a mistake.

In that sense, the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for."

That is Lundestad's way of explaining a decision that openly ignored the premise of

the prize, ignored humanitarians with inspiring records, and gave the leading humanitarian

award to someone without single credible claim to that prize.

Lundestad's book is lacking any evidence of an ethical commitment to the history of

the Nobel or its underlying principles.

Barak Obama should have turned down the award, allowing a worthy recipient to receive it.

But of course, arrogant Obama would do no such thing.

His presidency is filled with these types of occasions.

In 2013 Obama won the NME Hero of the Year Award, again beating out people who actually

did something heroic.

Barak would be better suited to win an award for his scandals while being the Commander-in-Chief.

He should be recognized for giving the ter**rist nation of Iran over a billion dollars or providing

guns to Mexican cartels.

He could win an award for doing nothing in eight years to remove ISIS or stopping North

Korea from ter***izing the world.

The list goes on and on.

Barak Obama should have never received the Nobel Peace Prize, the world became a much

scarier place under his administration.

In fact, the current Nobel committee should remove the award from Obama if they have any

hope of preserving the honor it carries, which was cheapened by this single, undeserved recipient.

Donald Trump signs executive order to end child separation policy - Duration: 11:49.

 President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to keep migrant families together

 The US president ruled that families crossing the border will still be arrested and prosecuted, but they will be held together, rather than having the children taken away

 Signing the order, Mr Trump said: "I consider it to be a very important executive order

It's about keeping families together while at the same time being sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border, and border security will be equal if not greater than previously

   "So we're going to have strong, very strong borders, but we're going to keep the families together

I didn't like the sight or the feeling of families being separated."  He also asked the department of defence to assist with sheltering the families, given the current state of overcrowding

 And he said that Congress must seek to modify the Flores agreement - a 1997 ruling that meant that children cannot be held for more than 20 days

 "When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code," the executive order reads

   "This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise

   "It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources

"  Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, who has been strongly criticised for her silence on the issue - while all five first ladies spoke out - tweeted: "Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border

Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families

"  The signing of the executive order seeks to lower the temperature on what has become a furious political debate

 "We want to keep families together," Mr Trump said, speaking early on Wednesday at the White House

 Mr Trump said that he hoped the executive order would happen in parallel with legislation passed by Congress

The US House of Representatives is due to consider a bill on the issue on Thursday

 Hosting a round table of Republican senators and representatives, Mr Trump staged a televised 24-minute discussion of the issue

 "The dilemma is that if you're weak, as some people would like you to be, if you are really, really pathetically weak, the country will be overrun with millions of people," he said

 "If you are strong, you don't have any heart. And that's a tough dilemma. Perhaps I'd rather be strong

"  Mr Trump stressed that it was a long-running problem, and that he wanted a permanent solution

He told his colleagues - 15 men and one woman - that they should "not feel guilty" about the scenes at the border, but urged them to work for an answer

 "We're having a lot of problems with Democrats that don't want to vote for anything," he said

   "They don't care about lack of security. They really would like to have open borders where anybody in the world can just flow in, including from the Middle East, from anybody anywhere they can just flow into our country

 "Tremendous problems with that, tremendous crime caused by that. We're just not going to do it

"  But in his hometown of New York, the mayor, Bill de Blasio, remained furious about the situation

 He held a press conference outside a Harlem housing shelter denouncing the fact that 239 children had been brought to his city without his knowledge, including a nine-month-old baby

 He only learnt of it after a local television station in New York received a tip off that children were arriving by night at a shelter in Harlem, and filmed the arrivals

 "How is it possible that none of us knew there were 239 children right here in our own city?" said Mr de Blasio

   "How is the federal government holding back that information from the people of this city and holding back the help these kids could need?"  He said the federal government would not tell city officials exactly how many children were sent to New York and where they were being housed

   "The federal government has not given us any information. We have asked for it," he said

 Mr de Blasio said the children arriving in East Harlem need both mental health assistance and physical help — with some arriving with lice, bedbugs, chickenpox and other contagious illnesses

 Almost 2,000 children have been separated from their parents on the US-Mexico border since April, as a result of the adults being treated as criminal offenders

Before April they were classed as having committed a civil offence. Donald Trump's shameful border policy is alienating his supporters  On Tuesday night Mr Trump met with Republicans in Congress, to discuss two possible immigration reform bills, due to be voted on on Thursday

 On Wednesday morning, however, Mr Trump once again blamed Congress and the Democrats for the situation

 "It's the Democrats fault, they won't give us the votes needed to pass good immigration legislation," he tweeted

 "They want open borders, which breeds horrible crime. Republicans want security

But I am working on something - it never ends!"  The president also retweeted a tweet by Darrell Scott, a pastor and Trump supporter, that declared: "Once the mid terms are over, liberals won't talk about detained or separated illegal immigrant children until 2020

#itsallpolitics."  Miss Nielsen insisted that the 12,000 children currently in US government care - 10,000 of them arriving alone, and 2,000 being taken from their parents - were being treated well

 But the Center for Investigative Reporting on Wednesday highlighted that Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, was taken to court in April over the treatment of the youngsters

A further hearing will be held on June 29.  In the court documents, children held at Shiloh Treatment Center, a government contractor south of Houston that houses immigrant minors, alleged that they were held down and injected

 The lawsuit alleges that children were told they would not be released or see their parents unless they took medication, and that they were told they were receiving vitamins

 "The government does not contest that it is medicating these kids," said Carlos Holguin, the chief counsel for the LA-based Center for Human Rights

 He told The Telegraph that the government did try to argue that some of the children required medicating, but that that was not the issue at the heart of the case - which was whether the federal authorities had the right to do so

 The Shiloh Treatment Center did not respond to The Telegraph's request for comment
